I'm never going to win Father of the Year... unless Failblog.org starts giving out parenting awards. In all seriousness though, like many of you - I'm learning as I go along and having a great time doing it (for the most part) and throughout the process, I'll provide fodder for your voyeuristic enjoyment. Being a child of the 80's, some of my key filters in how I view the world are:
For parenting: "What would Philip Drummond do in the situation?"
- I get a little frustrated when big problems don't get resolved in 30 minutes with a nicely packaged moral at the end. Also, I'm still working on my catchphrase. The tentative one is "Control-Z! Control-Z!" But I'm open to suggestions.

For gadgets: "What does Steve Jobs command me to buy next?"
- Currently, I want to buy an iPad, but I don't know what I'd use it for. Guess there's only one way to find out! Unless Steve Jobs is into reading newly started parent/gadget/food blogs, in which case - Steve, your black turtlenecks are stunning. If you'd like a favorable yet ostensibly unbiased review of the iPad that will reach approximately a dozen readers (give or take 10), please send me one. As the classic advertising quote goes, "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half."
For food: "Butter, Bacon, and Deep Frying make everything better"
- To be clear, I can also appreciate higher end cuisine even at places where the required dress is more formal than my typical daily "basketball casual" ensembles. I consider myself a foodie. I also consider myself dashingly handsome, so take that for what it's worth.
For knowledge: "If knowing is half the battle, what's the other half?"
- I think the other half is unmanned weaponry, stealth technology, and seeding land-to-air missiles to rebel forces but not supporting their cause after the skirmish is over.
For love: "Why am I so attracted to Tigra, Sunny Gummi, and Smurfette despite them being animated... and not human?"
- I prefer not to go into detail on this one.
